Nouns (gender-neutral): Is it a steed or a mare, a bull or a cow?

 Gender has been assigned to forms of the noun that are normally parsed as gender neutral, such as κνας, ππους, ρνιθες etc. For example [IL.16.148-149 κας ππους Ξνθον κα Βαλον] either Ξνθον and Βαλον, the immortal steeds of Achilles, or κας, can form the basis for the assignment of masculine to ππους. This is due to the agreement with the masculine adjective κας, or in the absence of the adjective, a contextual agreement1 with the two steeds Ξνθον κα Βαλον.

 

Adverbs of place:

 The forms λλοτε, οκαδε, ορανθεν, μτερνδε etc. and place names Φθηνδε, λυμπόνδε, etc. have been assigned (Adverb, Place).2

 

The Article/Pronoun: , ἡ, τό,

 Many of the grammars neglect to give adequate treatment to the definite article, often presenting the article in a first lesson, some even reducing it to the equivalent of an English “the”. Do not be lulled into complacency by this treatment of the article and avoid the tendency to import our modern use of the definite article into Homer.

In Homer, the line of distinction between article and pronoun is indeed a blurry one. In fact some have denied the existence of the definite article in Homer, while others have cited its sparse usage as evidence of corruption,3 or to support a theory of an original Iliad (Ur-Ilias).4 Homeric authorities taking account of , ἡ, τό, used as a definite article are generally in agreement on its assignment.5 In this volume you will find, ἡ, τό parsed as a definite article 385 times, and as a pronoun 3064 times.

 

        1 an agreement, semantic or morphological that may transcend sentence boundaries.

“Τ τοπικ τν πιρρημτων τρες χει διαστσεις, τν ν τπ, τν ες τπον, τν κ τπου. ...παρ τε τ ψος ψο γνεται, φ ο  τ ψθεν κα ψθι. ...ς παρ τν οκου ποτελεται τ οκοθι οκοθεν οκαδε,”

        5 Kotch. (1872),. De Articulo Homerico, Leipzig, (1909). Homer and the Iliad, Cambridge, Stummer. (1886). Ueber den Artikel bei Homer, Schweinfurt. But note that LSJ goes further in assigning, ἡ, τό, to the pronoun class  i.e. τὸν Χρύσην (that venerable man Chryses), ὁ Τυδεΐδης (he Tydeus' famous son), Νστωρ γρων (Nestor that aged man).
